I asked him if he had a partner and with near tears in his eyes he said no. The other weeks he has said he hasn't had a partner either and has a different excuse each time such as another boy took his partner and what have you....I wish I could volunteer to see what goes on. He does like going there. His grandma (Steve's mom) has been there since he was born but I believe she is on a different floor.
